Here are the best of the best: the stars of the dominant U.S. national team—like Megan Rapinoe, Alex Morgan, Julie Ertz, and Rose Lavelle—and their top competitors from around the world, like Sam Kerr of Australia, Lucy Bronze of England, Wendie Renard of France, and Marta of Brazil. This lively book features short biographies of twenty-eight athletes in all, illustrated with color photographs of the stars in action. Revised and updated from cover to cover, Stars of Women’s Soccer is sure to whet the appetite of young fans who are eager to see the titans of the women’s game battle it out (finally) at the Tokyo Olympics.

A good starting point to get to know the players but could do with more depth and expert insight(x❤x)

[Melanie Dulaney]

Fans of women’s professional soccer will appreciate how many of today’s stars are given a 2 page spread in this collective biography. Each spread has a full page photograph on side and a snapshot of the player’s professional life with brief mention of personal info outside of birthplace. Girl friends are included in several bios, but not boyfriends or husbands. Playing stats are also scant with only # of professional games played and goals scored listed. Many outstanding players are included, but readers needing a great deal of information will have to look for additional sources. Love the cover art, but photographs of many of the players are not very flattering. Thanks for the finished copy of this book, Amazon Vine.
